At the Theaters.

ROBERT DOWNING AT THE GRAND.
The popularity in Indianapolis of legitimate
drama. when well presented was strongly at
tested by the large and evidently cultured audi
ence that greeted Robert Downing in his per-
formance of Spartacus, the Gladiator, at the
Grand opera-house last evening The drama
has been made familiar to the older theater-
goers by the impressive performances az two of
Americas greatest actors Forrest and McCul-
lished that Mr.. Downing's persona
ton of Spartacus is commonly judged.
He is young man, who has much to learn, and
experience only can be his teacher OF course,
he is not the equal of either Forrest or Me-
Culough. but his performance will we'll bear
comparison with that of his great predecessors
He improves rapidly, and there reason for ex-
pectne much from HIM in the future. Nature
gives him generous aid in his work. for physic-
ally, he is admirably adapted to the character
he personates. His acting is often sublime and
thrilling. and there is more in his performance
to commend than to criticise. The tragedy
is presented with elaborate and effective
accessories in the matter of scenery With the
exception of Mr.. VIM. Harris's performance of
Phasarius, the support is of mediocre strength
Miss Stella Rees. of this city, Julia, acquitted
herself creditably. This afternoon she will be
afforded better opportunity of showing her
talent as Parthenia. in "Ingomar." which Mr..
Downing played with SO much success while the
leading man of Mary Andersons company. This
evening he will again appear as Spartacus. and
the indications are that he will be greeted by
another very large audience.
